Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Systems kindly invites you to address recent advances in operations and production management systems, focused on the challenges provided by ongoing digital transformation and evolving business paradigms. The contributions can explore, for example, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning for innovative decision-making and predictive analytics, fostering agile and data-driven operations. The role of Internet of Things and real-time analytics has become crucial in current competitive environments, highlighting the responsiveness in supply chain management and operational excellence. Submissions may also delve into the deployment of automation and robotics, alongside advanced manufacturing techniques which are reshaping production processes through increased efficiency and customization. Moreover, sustainable practices are fundamental in reducing environmental footprint and aligning with evolving regulatory and consumer demands. To be at the forefront of novel research and practices, it is imperative to understand production systems at their core, as well as offer comprehensive insights into current trends and future directions. Our aim is to provide a collection of top research articles that leverage these advancements to enhance overall systems' productivity and sustainability.
We look forward to receiving your submissions for consideration.
